London, England (CNN) — The United Arab Emirates will bring
the killers of a top Hamas official to justice, the country’s foreign
minister said Sunday.
“We fully intend that those responsible are
brought to account for their actions,” Anwar Gargash said in a
statement published by the country’s official news agency.
The
Gulf state is urging allies in Europe to get to the bottom of how
fraudulent passports were used as part of the murder plot, its foreign
ministry said.
European officials pressed Israel for answers
Thursday over the use of doctored passports by suspects in the killing,
following media speculation that Israeli agents were involved.
“The
UAE is deeply concerned by the fact that passports of close allies,
whose nationals currently enjoy preferential visa waivers, were
illegally used to commit this crime,” the UAE foreign ministry said
Sunday.
Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, a founding member of the military
wing of the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas, was killed in a Dubai
hotel room last month. Dubai is one of the Gulf emirates comprising the
UAE.
